“But the CRX is meant to be more than Honda’s two-passenger sports car. The HF version, with its eight-valve engine producing a paltry 62 bhp, serves as the company’s high mileage flagship. Honda estimates the EPA highway figure at 55 mpg. The standard CRX now makes 92 bhp, one horsepower more than 1987’s CRX Si, and has an EPA highway number of 41 mpg. The CRX Si rates and estimated 35 mpg on the EPA highway scale.

Each CRX uses the same new, gently tapered body (0.30 Cd fot he CRX and CRX Si, and 0.29 Cd for the CRX HF with its skinny tires), which incorporates a 90.6 inch wheelbase (up 3.9 inches), a wider track and a lower hood, and a secondary rear window positioned just above the taillights. Beyond its value as a styling feature, the Lamborghini Espada-like window allows drivers to peer rearward during parking maneuvers—a task that otherwise would be difficult with the higher (by two inches) deck. New flush headlights also play a role in the renovated Civics’ new slipperiness. Thanks to improved headlamp reflector technology, Honda used shorter, radically angled lenses with no sacrifice in efficiency.”

protege,that's great of you to post the images.Looks like some other members are looking at the CRX as a possible project car.The profiles will help them with decision making.Thanks much for doing what is so awkward for me,Phil.
